Nokia demonstrates 5G apps and capabilities to help operators prepare for new business opportunities.

Nokia is showing how 5G applications run on its network infrastructure as operators explore the new business opportunities of an increasingly connected world.

These demonstrations, including eight from Bell Labs, showcase how Nokia-developed 5G communications - with massive bandwidth capacity and virtual zero latency - are supporting new applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to remote robotics.

Nokia's complete package of 5G communication technologies are providing the backbone to enable the growing proliferation of devices to connect to the Internet and to one another in order to open up a wealth of new possibilities - from improved manufacturing efficiencies and vehicle safety to a cleaner environment.

With Nokia's 5G multi-service network architecture for mobile and fixed networks, operators can provide services far beyond voice and data applications to address new business opportunities in many different industries. Nokia Professional Services are ready to support customers reach nearly 100% network availability in the 5G era.

5G stadium experience: Fast, live multi-casting with synchronous data transmission across a large number of smartphones. Users will be able to augment and share their real stadium experience with live video feeds from different camera positions and virtually no delay in transmission.

5G Interactive Virtual reality: Through 1 millisecond latency and high throughput, two mobile virtual reality users will be able to collaborate as if they are in the same physical location. Remote collaboration and telepresence will optimize various business applications and processes, including distance learning, manufacturing and the maintenance and repair of machines.

5G Massive Capacity: Bell Labs has also developed aggregation technologies that will deliver record-breaking peak rates of 30 Gbps and provide a more consistent and reliable quality of experience for subscribers. This is achieved by aggregating different mobile and fixed technologies into a single, ultra-capacity stream for the end user. These innovations allow operators to maximize the utilization of their network assets.

5G Massive Connectivity: Nokia will demonstrate the transformations in the cellular network to achieve record-breaking numbers of device connections and connectivity with new technology innovations from Bell Labs. Using new waveforms, connectionless messaging and flexible application-based routing, this ultra-low latency support will usher in the new IoT era with the automation of everything.

In a proof-of-concept demo, Nokia will introduce the concept of 5G-driven "extreme automation". This new concept will show how to simplify the operation of a complex array of new 5G use cases.
